Cliona and Catriona

​A preview of songs from Cliona Cassidy and Catriona McKay

“The heat leaves my body and the blood drains away, thinly, quietly, on the pavement. Towards the puddles, the road, the passing cars, seeping noiselessy into the tepid stone.”

Wake is an exploration of the nature of grief.

The parallel journeys of the departing and those left behind.The world continues on as we grieve, quietly, behind closed doors,

without fanfare, as the unknown way of the dying begins silently and in absolute solitude.
